A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright and fairly open, with wide caps and generous set width that gives the text a spacious rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves transition quickly into thin strokes, creating a polished, engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between rounds, straights, and diagonals.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where the contrast and hairline detailing can shine. It also fits editorial contexts such as magazine titles and book covers, and can support refined branding applications where a classic, upscale voice is desired.
The font projects an editorial, refined tone with a strong sense of tradition and ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and bright hairlines add a fashion-forward, high-end flavor, while the classical proportions keep it firmly in a bookish, authoritative register.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: wide, confident letterforms paired with delicate hairlines for an elevated, editorial presence.
In larger sizes, the razor-thin horizontals and serifs become a defining feature, giving headlines a crisp sparkle. In dense paragraphs, the strong contrast and fine details create a lively texture that reads as premium and formal rather than utilitarian.
